Model Exhibition

This exhibition consists of models of the Navy's major units
during The Cold
War. All of them are now decommissioned from service. They are
all in scale 1:35. They are radio controlled and can sail on their
own power. The models are on loan from the "Modelbyggergruppen af
1999".

"Modelbyggergruppen af 1999" has i.a. created a nice model
of the submarine depot ship H.D.M.S. Ægir.

Model of HDMS Triton, a corvet

A model of the frigate H.D.M.S Hvidbjørnen, the latest model in
the exhibition. The model was "launched" at Nyholm by the model
builder Ebbe Talleruphus and sailed a tour around in the harbor,
then the model was placed in its display in the model exhibition.
H.D.M.S Hvidbjørnen was launched in 1961, commisioned in 1962, and
was decommisioned in 1992. The Hvidbjørnen class was built in
response to the merchant vessel Hans Hedtofts disaster. It sunk at
Cape Farewell close to Greenland and all crew and passenger died.
The Navy had not, at that time the prober type of ship which could
operate in Greenland's icy waters.
